    ford type FA oil ok???

    I was not sure if our blowers can run safe on ford type FA. IT says type F? I just finished rebuilding my unit again:(, flushed my cooler with ford type FA, then drained it, filled it with trick-shift because I know we can use that stuff. I was having a difficult time finding the basic ford type F fluid. I know this topic has been beaten to death, and I have asked similar Q's in the past. Just wondering about the type F vs Type FA.

    So is this stuff safe to put in our superchargers? And how good or bad is the trickshift fluid for our blowers?
